Steelers on work ethic

Here's a lesson from how the Pittsburgh Steelers try to create a professional and effective work atmosphere vs. how the Cincinnati Bengals don't.

You may know the Steelers as the hard-working, blue-collar, 5-time Super Bowl champion American football team (of which I'm a fan). The Bengals, on the other hand, have lately been known for having nine players arrested since January 2006, one of them four separate times.

The NFL is understandably concerned about this thug image and has finally decided to do something about it. Commissioner Roger Goodell will announce proposed penalties has proposed for lawbreakers shortly.

Why don't the Steelers have this problem?

"It's about the people you bring in, it's about your actions matching your words, when you set guidelines in terms of the atmosphere that you're building -- it's all those things," says Mike Tomlin, their new head coach.
